Hubitat C-7 - firmware 2.2.5

I was disabling the LED Color child device option on my Inovelli switches/dimmers and received the following:

Let me know what other details are needed?

2

was this by device type?, or preference name...
can you post the code for the driver(s) being used?

3

Is there some documentation for this new built in app that I can use?

we didn't include any as it's really straight forward as compared to most apps we have.

By Preference Name.

Driver code is from Inovelli. I included both as I was trying to update all dimmers/switches and I'm not sure which it failed on.

If the driver for a given device was changed after the first preference load this can happen...

9

Interesting. I don't think either of those drivers have changed recently.

When you say after the first preference load are referencing to the load of preferences within the Preference Manager app or something different?

10

If you load preferences in the app, update some preferences, then change one or more drivers to different drivers, then open the app and change preferences again without reloading the preferences this can happen.
Does that sound like what happened here?

11

Yes. In my case I had done the following:

  • Updated my hub
  • Installed/opened the Preference Manager app after install to check it out
  • Excluded/removed one of the dimmers (from my first post I see that this is the device that the app was trying to update just before the failure)
  • Opened the Preference Manager app again and did not update preferences data
  • Attempted to update the setting
  • Update failed
12

ok, thanks for that, I found and fixed the missing device issue, if we release another 2.2.5 hotfix, it will be in there.
